Based on the sources, trainer **Olly Murphy** sends a strong team to **Lingfield Park** on Sunday, 21st December 2025, with several runners highlighted as key contenders or top-rated by TimeWise.

Here is a breakdown of what the sources say about his runners:

### **The “Nap” / Best Chance: Little Ledgend (15:30 Lingfield)**
*   **Verdict:** This horse is the **Spotlight Verdict selection (Nap)** and is noted as the “strongest case” in the field by Sporting Life analysts [1, 2].
*   **Analysis:** A five-year-old gelding, he showed promise in bumpers and ran a “qualifying run” when fourth in a stronger Class 3 handicap at Windsor last month [3]. Sources highlight that dropping down to **Class 5** and stepping up in trip to **2m 3f** “heightens interest” and could unlock further improvement [4].
*   **Rating:** He holds a TimeWise Master Rating of **257**, the second-highest in the race behind the favorite, Low Expectations [5].

### **Top Rated Contenders**
Two of Murphy’s runners are the highest-rated horses in their respective races based on the HorseRaceBase TimeWise Master Ratings:

*   **Doctor Ken (15:00 Lingfield):**
    *   **Rating:** He is the **TimeWise Master Rated** horse for this race with a score of **300** [6].
    *   **Form:** A nine-year-old who wasn’t beaten far when finishing fourth on his comeback at Kempton [7]. Sources suggest he “has further races in him off this mark” and is a primary threat on better ground [7, 8].
*   **Diamond Geezer (14:00 Lingfield):**
    *   **Rating:** He tops the TimeWise ratings for this race with a score of **278** [9].
    *   **Potential:** He “came good in first-time cheekpieces” at Perth in October [10]. Although he was third at Warwick last month, analysts believe the step up to **2m 7f** might reveal “untapped potential” [10].

### **Juvenile Runners (13:00 Lingfield)**
Murphy has two runners in the **EBF Junior ‘National Hunt’ Hurdle**, but they face a short-priced favorite in Aqua Bleu:

*   **Network Gold:** Considered the “pick of the Olly Murphy pair” [11]. He showed improvement when finishing third at Wincanton recently and is described as being “in good hands” to progress further, though likely playing for a minor prize [12, 13].
*   **Network Rgb:** Finished behind his stablemate on debut and is considered to have “work to do,” likely needing more time and perhaps handicaps over further distances [12, 13].
